Ranger started his junior hockey days in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Oshawa Generals before making the jump to the NHL to play with the Tampa Bay Lightning where he spent five seasons playing a top two-way defending role for the team.  After a few more professional seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and NLA in Switzerland he decided to retire from professional hockey.
